Over 30 years of retirement, Blount would collect as much as $895,978, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Blount received $18,832 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Blount will have already received $38,229 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
