Over 30 years of retirement, Proffitt would collect as much as $991,188, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Proffitt received $20,834 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Proffitt will have already received $87,162 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
