Over 30 years of retirement, Holdcroft would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Holdcroft received $26,429 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Holdcroft will have already received $110,570 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
