Over 30 years of retirement, Grueder would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Grueder received $21,847 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Grueder will have already received $67,526 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
