Over 30 years of retirement, Edelstein would collect as much as $4.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Edelstein received $91,257 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Edelstein will have already received $282,067 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
