Former state university employee Edward Brunner, who retired in June 2017, saved $133,121 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Brunner would collect as much as $3.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Brunner received $68,646 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Brunner will have already received $139,351 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
