Over 30 years of retirement, Dulmes would collect as much as $5.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Dulmes received $124,848 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dulmes will have already received $385,892 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
