Over 30 years of retirement, Vaughn would collect as much as $1.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Vaughn received $27,108 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Vaughn will have already received $113,410 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
