Over 30 years of retirement, Garcia would collect as much as $936,472, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Garcia received $19,683 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garcia will have already received $60,837 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
