Former state university employee Alexis Kennedy, who retired in December 2017, saved $173,873 toward a pension over 23 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kennedy would collect as much as $4.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.

The projection assumes Kennedy received $88,917 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Kennedy will have already received $180,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
