Over 30 years of retirement, Tatham would collect as much as $873,381, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Tatham received $18,357 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tatham will have already received $37,265 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
