Over 30 years of retirement, Bicket would collect as much as $2.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Bicket received $46,478 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bicket will have already received $143,658 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
