Former state school employee David Kinley, who retired in May 2017, saved $167,944 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, Kinley would collect as much as $3.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Kinley received $68,613 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kinley will have already received $212,075 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
