Over 30 years of retirement, Elman would collect as much as $4.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Elman received $86,075 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Elman will have already received $266,049 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
