Over 30 years of retirement, Colwell would collect as much as $2.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Colwell received $45,180 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Colwell will have already received $139,646 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
