Over 30 years of retirement, Shelton would collect as much as $2.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Shelton received $62,919 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shelton will have already received $194,477 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
