Over 30 years of retirement, Koester would collect as much as $1.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Koester received $40,800 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Koester will have already received $82,824 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
