Over 30 years of retirement, Conforti would collect as much as $2.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Conforti received $59,396 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Conforti will have already received $120,574 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
