Over 30 years of retirement, Zelasko would collect as much as $1.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Zelasko received $22,250 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Zelasko will have already received $22,250 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
