Over 30 years of retirement, Litz would collect as much as $3.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Litz received $63,948 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Litz will have already received $197,656 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
