Over 30 years of retirement, Lawson Jones would collect as much as $2.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

After 2 years of retirement, Lawson Jones will have already received $112,354 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
