Over 30 years of retirement, Mueller would collect as much as $91,510, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Mueller received $1,923 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Mueller will have already received $3,904 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
