Over 30 years of retirement, Valentine would collect as much as $973,781, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Valentine received $20,468 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Valentine will have already received $63,264 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
