Former state school employee Barbara Cordry, who retired in May 2018, saved $123,371 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cordry would collect as much as $2.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Cordry received $54,789 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cordry will have already received $169,348 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
