Over 30 years of retirement, North would collect as much as $3.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes North received $66,680 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, North will have already received $206,100 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
