Over 30 years of retirement, Seaton would collect as much as $2.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Seaton received $53,479 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Seaton will have already received $165,297 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
