Former state school employee Kevin Doran, who retired in February 2016, saved $7,974 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Doran would collect as much as $144,039, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Doran received $3,027 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Doran will have already received $9,357 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
