Over 30 years of retirement, Piper would collect as much as $828,622, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Piper received $17,417 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Piper will have already received $53,835 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
