Over 30 years of retirement, Tanaka would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Tanaka received $21,929 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tanaka will have already received $44,516 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
