We later had to buy back the double CA augmentation by extending the reduced payrates for a longer period of time.
Ahhh yes, Duane Woerth. Defender of the profession. And presider over the worst period of degradation to this profession and union EVER! Wonder why he never got a 50% paycut and loss of retirement? Disgusting.
