Over 30 years of retirement, Gutwillig would collect as much as $4.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Gutwillig received $86,025 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gutwillig will have already received $265,895 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
