Over 30 years of retirement, Bragman would collect as much as $646,412, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Bragman received $13,587 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bragman will have already received $41,997 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
