Over 30 years of retirement, Booth would collect as much as $1.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Booth received $31,313 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Booth will have already received $96,785 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
