Former state school employee Cynthia Salmon, who retired in May 2017, saved $69,613 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, Salmon would collect as much as $1.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Salmon received $31,322 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Salmon will have already received $96,814 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
