Over 30 years of retirement, Garrett would collect as much as $81,525, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Garrett received $1,713 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Garrett will have already received $7,166 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
