Former state school employee Lori Leonard, who retired in June 2016, saved $193,279 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, Leonard would collect as much as $4.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Leonard received $85,801 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Leonard will have already received $265,202 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
