Over 30 years of retirement, Ewing would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Ewing received $71,046 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ewing will have already received $219,595 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
