Over 30 years of retirement, Stefaniak would collect as much as $517,182, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Stefaniak received $10,870 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Stefaniak will have already received $33,598 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
