Over 30 years of retirement, Cardenas would collect as much as $351,825, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Cardenas received $7,395 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cardenas will have already received $15,012 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
