Over 30 years of retirement, Decker would collect as much as $66,715, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Decker received $1,402 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Decker will have already received $2,846 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
