Over 30 years of retirement, Roth would collect as much as $196,967, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Roth received $4,140 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Roth will have already received $8,404 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
