Over 30 years of retirement, Krekel would collect as much as $1.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.
The projection assumes Krekel received $37,035 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Krekel will have already received $75,181 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
