Over 30 years of retirement, Carobine would collect as much as $253,116, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Carobine received $5,320 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Carobine will have already received $16,444 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
