Over 30 years of retirement, Riccardo would collect as much as $221,688, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Riccardo received $4,659 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Riccardo will have already received $14,401 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
