Over 30 years of retirement, Seaton would collect as much as $5.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Seaton received $114,363 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Seaton will have already received $232,157 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
