Over 30 years of retirement, Tyler would collect as much as $832,773, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Tyler received $17,504 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tyler will have already received $35,533 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
