Over 30 years of retirement, Herndon would collect as much as $433,887, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Herndon received $9,120 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Herndon will have already received $28,190 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
