Over 30 years of retirement, Gordon would collect as much as $629,222, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Gordon received $13,225 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gordon will have already received $26,847 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
