Over 30 years of retirement, Lucke would collect as much as $5.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Lucke received $123,152 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lucke will have already received $380,651 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
