Over 30 years of retirement, Bratsch would collect as much as $901,978, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Bratsch received $18,958 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bratsch will have already received $58,598 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
