Former state school employee Robert Luke, who retired in June 2018, saved $256,951 toward a pension over 41 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Luke would collect as much as $4.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Luke received $84,862 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Luke will have already received $262,300 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
