Over 30 years of retirement, Lockridge would collect as much as $223,018, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Lockridge received $4,687 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Lockridge will have already received $4,687 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
