Former state school employee Christine Field, who retired in May 2016, saved $140,730 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Field would collect as much as $2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Field received $42,048 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Field will have already received $175,911 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
