Over 30 years of retirement, Gehrke would collect as much as $148,794, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Gehrke received $3,127 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Gehrke will have already received $3,127 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
