Former state school employee William Milligan, who retired in June 2018, saved $128,452 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Milligan would collect as much as $2.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Milligan received $52,157 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Milligan will have already received $161,213 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
