Over 30 years of retirement, Kaskel would collect as much as $829,679, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Kaskel received $17,439 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kaskel will have already received $72,958 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
