Over 30 years of retirement, Wilper would collect as much as $762,729, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Wilper received $16,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Wilper will have already received $67,071 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
