Over 30 years of retirement, Patridge would collect as much as $453,909, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Patridge received $9,540 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Patridge will have already received $29,487 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
