Over 30 years of retirement, Creech would collect as much as $539,784, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Creech received $11,345 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Creech will have already received $35,066 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
