Over 30 years of retirement, Ruppel would collect as much as $2.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ruppel received $50,400 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ruppel will have already received $155,781 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
