Over 30 years of retirement, Lawton would collect as much as $409,150, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Lawton received $8,600 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lawton will have already received $26,582 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
