Over 30 years of retirement, Dainton would collect as much as $3.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Dainton received $75,552 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dainton will have already received $233,525 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
