Former state university employee Donna Greene, who retired in December 2018, saved $97,934 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Greene would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Greene received $51,504 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Greene will have already received $104,553 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
