Over 30 years of retirement, Santi would collect as much as $2.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Santi received $57,530 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Santi will have already received $177,820 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
