Over 30 years of retirement, Butler would collect as much as $4.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Butler received $86,418 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Butler will have already received $175,429 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
