Over 30 years of retirement, Mullins would collect as much as $400,044, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Mullins received $8,408 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Mullins will have already received $35,176 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
