Over 30 years of retirement, Rudolph would collect as much as $517,456, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Rudolph received $10,876 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Rudolph will have already received $45,500 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
