Over 30 years of retirement, Kopelousos would collect as much as $2.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Kopelousos received $60,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kopelousos will have already received $185,454 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
