Over 30 years of retirement, Knuf would collect as much as $3.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Knuf received $72,319 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Knuf will have already received $223,532 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
