Over 30 years of retirement, Wydeen would collect as much as $283,437, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Wydeen received $5,957 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wydeen will have already received $18,413 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
