The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission chairman fired by Gov. Ed Rendell can receive a maximum annual state pension of about $6,100.The estimated figure is an Associated Press calculation based on information provided by the State Employees' Retirement System under a Right-to-Know Law request.
The part-time job paid $28,500 annually and Mitchell Rubin served on the commission for nearly 11 years.
Rendell ousted Rubin from the job on Monday citing "overwhelming" evidence that he accepted a no-work contract from a state senator for $150,000.
The contract was described in the recent corruption trial of former state Sen. Vincent Fumo of Philadelphia.
