Over 30 years of retirement, Ramirez would collect as much as $724,957, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Ramirez received $15,238 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Ramirez will have already received $15,238 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
