Over 30 years of retirement, Busse would collect as much as $569,586, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Busse received $11,972 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Busse will have already received $24,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
