Over 30 years of retirement, Pursley would collect as much as $318,479, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Pursley received $6,694 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pursley will have already received $28,006 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
