Over 30 years of retirement, Thompson would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Thompson received $39,630 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Thompson will have already received $256,344 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
