Former state university employee Linda Tangora, who retired in February 2017, saved $6,972 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tangora would collect as much as $277,848, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Tangora received $5,840 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Tangora will have already received $11,855 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
