Over 30 years of retirement, Vogel would collect as much as $915,120, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Vogel received $19,235 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Vogel will have already received $59,453 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
