Former state school employee Bonnie Speck, who retired in June 2016, saved $108,230 toward a pension over 19 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Speck would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.

The projection assumes Speck received $39,802 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Speck will have already received $123,024 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
