Over 30 years of retirement, Tang would collect as much as $2.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Tang received $52,704 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tang will have already received $162,903 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
