Over 30 years of retirement, Zimmerman would collect as much as $4.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Zimmerman received $103,013 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Zimmerman will have already received $209,116 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
