Former state school employee Lori Galloway, who retired in April 2018, saved $44,264 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Galloway would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Galloway received $24,889 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Galloway will have already received $50,525 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
