Over 30 years of retirement, Hoover would collect as much as $2.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Hoover received $47,157 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hoover will have already received $145,758 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
