Over 30 years of retirement, Parks would collect as much as $137,593, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Parks received $2,892 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 7 years of retirement, Parks will have already received $22,161 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
