Former state university employee Maggie Duncan Flowers, who retired in June 2017, saved $136,501 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Duncan Flowers would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Duncan Flowers received $45,626 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Duncan Flowers will have already received $141,026 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
