Over 30 years of retirement, Rooney would collect as much as $2.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Rooney received $56,018 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rooney will have already received $113,717 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
