Former state school employee Linda Pont, who retired in May 2017, saved $115,570 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pont would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Pont received $51,468 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Pont will have already received $159,082 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
