Over 30 years of retirement, Sharpe would collect as much as $947,479, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.
The projection assumes Sharpe received $19,915 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Sharpe will have already received $83,315 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
