Over 30 years of retirement, Phillips would collect as much as $172,413, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.
The projection assumes Phillips received $3,624 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Phillips will have already received $15,162 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
