Former state school employee Jody McKesson, who retired in June 2018, saved $92,691 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McKesson would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes McKesson received $35,961 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McKesson will have already received $111,152 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
