Over 30 years of retirement, Wattjes would collect as much as $756,757, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Wattjes received $15,906 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wattjes will have already received $49,163 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
