Over 30 years of retirement, Lamica would collect as much as $2.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Lamica received $59,740 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lamica will have already received $184,650 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
