Former state school employee Amy Gill, who retired in May 2016, saved $153,700 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gill would collect as much as $3.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Gill received $67,629 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gill will have already received $209,035 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
