Former state school employee Patrick Dolan, who retired in May 2017, saved $211,220 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dolan would collect as much as $4.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Dolan received $92,329 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dolan will have already received $285,380 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
