Over 30 years of retirement, Ballard would collect as much as $89,860, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Ballard received $1,888 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ballard will have already received $5,836 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
