Over 30 years of retirement, Cahill would collect as much as $491,554, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Cahill received $10,332 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cahill will have already received $31,935 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
