Over 30 years of retirement, Ower would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Ower received $40,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ower will have already received $124,635 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
