Over 30 years of retirement, Crayton would collect as much as $298,263, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Crayton received $6,269 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Crayton will have already received $26,228 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
