Over 30 years of retirement, Nelson would collect as much as $311,154, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Nelson received $6,540 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nelson will have already received $13,276 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
