Over 30 years of retirement, Salazar would collect as much as $5.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Salazar received $121,666 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Salazar will have already received $376,057 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
