Over 30 years of retirement, Buchner would collect as much as $2.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Buchner received $42,802 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Buchner will have already received $132,297 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
