Over 30 years of retirement, Ianson would collect as much as $3.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Ianson received $79,266 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ianson will have already received $160,910 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
