Former state school employee John Glimco, who retired in July 2017, saved $274,804 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Glimco would collect as much as $5.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Glimco received $120,135 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Glimco will have already received $371,325 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
