Former state university employee Thomas Golz, who retired in December 2017, saved $70,944 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Golz would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Golz received $22,976 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Golz will have already received $71,016 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
