Over 30 years of retirement, Semmelman would collect as much as $4.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Semmelman received $85,316 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Semmelman will have already received $173,191 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
