Over 30 years of retirement, Kennedy would collect as much as $1.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Kennedy received $35,287 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kennedy will have already received $71,633 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
