Over 30 years of retirement, Rodewald would collect as much as $503,692, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Rodewald received $10,587 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Rodewald will have already received $44,293 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
