Over 30 years of retirement, Botsios would collect as much as $809,817, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Botsios received $17,021 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Botsios will have already received $34,553 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
