Over 30 years of retirement, Bellavia would collect as much as $3.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Bellavia received $73,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bellavia will have already received $225,951 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
