WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Mulvaney cites $20K as reason to remain acting chief of staff – Mike Brest
(DIERSEN: In 1980, when I was 31 years old, I took a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in
today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. Since then, my critics/opponents,
their operatives, and their dupes have used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that
IRS overpaid me. In my defense, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, I had almost
completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, I
had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I had earned an MBA
from Loyola in 1976, and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from
NIU in 1970.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mulvaney-cites-20k-as-reason-to-remain-acting-chief-of-staff
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
“Because it’s a $20,000 pay cut,” he said about leaving the OMB position,
according to the New York Times. Mulvaney’s deputy, Russell Vought, took on the
role of acting director of OMB in early 2019. Through OMB, Mulvaney makes
$203,500 a year. That salary is set by law. The position also requires Senate
confirmation. Reince Priebus and John Kelly, President Trump’s first two chiefs
of staff, earned $179,700 apiece, according to the Wall Street Journal. The maximum
salary allowed for a White House aide is $183,000. That’s what senior adviser
Kellyanne Conway and Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic adviser, make.
If Mulvaney were to remove the temporary part of his title, he’d be forced to
accept a decreased salary at or below that $183,000 marker.)
