Over 30 years of retirement, Hardt would collect as much as $53,910, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Hardt received $1,133 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hardt will have already received $4,740 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
