Over 30 years of retirement, Pieper would collect as much as $124,377, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Pieper received $2,614 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pieper will have already received $10,935 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
