This won’t change his base pay as that is set by law. It however may change in someway what he claims on deductions/gifts/charity, etc. Just my reading and maybe entirely wrong.
No, you are correct.
This is a very interesting game - salaries of the DC crowd.
This guy is actually one of the few heroes in all of this.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.
He testified before the House and Senate Armed Services Committees - telling them the truth of what Sequestration would do to the DoD's Operations and Maintenance accounts (brutal).
He then offered to take a 20% pay cut (matching the worst of the projected furlough to hit 750,000 DoD employees).
It was embarrassing to see the members of the Armed Services Committees squirm.
Ashton Carter: Superhero of the Sequester
Speaker Boehner, however, has so far not offered any of his salary (which as Speaker is considerably higher than most members of Congress).
It might cut into his bar bill tab.
Pretty arrogant for the King of the Sequester, especially since thousands of employees at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (in his district) will see a 15% pay cut.
