Over 30 years of retirement, Ruffin would collect as much as $290,305, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ruffin received $6,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ruffin will have already received $18,861 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
