Over 30 years of retirement, Cameron would collect as much as $145,249, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Cameron received $3,053 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cameron will have already received $9,437 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
