Over 30 years of retirement, Redpath would collect as much as $261,788, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Redpath received $5,502 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Redpath will have already received $5,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
