Former state university employee Leslee Stein Spencer, who retired in July 2017, saved $6,981 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stein Spencer would collect as much as $214,169, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Stein Spencer received $4,501 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Stein Spencer will have already received $9,137 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
