Over 30 years of retirement, Whalen would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Whalen received $24,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Whalen will have already received $50,709 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
