Over 30 years of retirement, Rodgers would collect as much as $1.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Rodgers received $32,004 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rodgers will have already received $64,968 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
