Over 30 years of retirement, Rudnicki would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Rudnicki received $33,297 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rudnicki will have already received $67,593 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
