Over 30 years of retirement, Berndt would collect as much as $1.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Berndt received $38,940 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Berndt will have already received $79,048 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
