Former state university employee David Soglin, who retired in April 2016, saved $43,442 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Soglin would collect as much as $397,309, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Soglin received $8,351 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 5 years of retirement, Soglin will have already received $44,339 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
