Over 30 years of retirement, Browne would collect as much as $372,772, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Browne received $7,835 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Browne will have already received $15,905 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
