Over 30 years of retirement, Sheppard would collect as much as $1.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Sheppard received $40,539 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sheppard will have already received $125,302 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
