Former state school employee Delaine Dewitt Logston, who retired in April 2018, saved $114,588 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dewitt Logston would collect as much as $2.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Dewitt Logston received $50,224 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dewitt Logston will have already received $155,238 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
