Over 30 years of retirement, Arado would collect as much as $781,568, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Arado received $16,428 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Arado will have already received $33,349 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
