Over 30 years of retirement, Fortino would collect as much as $787,700, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Fortino received $16,556 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Fortino will have already received $33,609 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
