Over 30 years of retirement, Taft would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Taft received $58,076 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Taft will have already received $179,507 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
