Over 30 years of retirement, Culbertson would collect as much as $58,803, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Culbertson received $1,236 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Culbertson will have already received $3,820 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
