Over 30 years of retirement, Guiney would collect as much as $1.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Guiney received $30,382 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Guiney will have already received $61,675 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
