Over 30 years of retirement, Harrell would collect as much as $2.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Harrell received $48,324 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Harrell will have already received $149,365 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
