Over 30 years of retirement, Rucker would collect as much as $821,532, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Rucker received $17,268 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rucker will have already received $53,374 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
