Over 30 years of retirement, Whitmer would collect as much as $1.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Whitmer received $31,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Whitmer will have already received $97,372 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
