Over 30 years of retirement, Carlino would collect as much as $3.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Carlino received $74,741 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Carlino will have already received $231,016 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
