Over 30 years of retirement, Tonkin would collect as much as $343,119, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Tonkin received $7,212 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tonkin will have already received $22,291 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
