WPCNR HIGH NOON NEWS LEADER. From The Mayor's Office. January 13, 2003 UPDATED 2:25 PM E.S.T.: The Mayor's Office today announced the retirement of Eileen Earl, City Budget Director for the last 14 years, which will be effective February 7. No immediate announcement of a successor was forthcoming. George Gretsas, Executive Officer, said the Mayor would be making a statement about the next city Budget Director "in the next few days."

COMPREHENSIVE, CLEAR, RATIONAL BUDGETS STRIKINGLY PRESENTED, were the hallmark of the Earl Era at City Hall. Here Ms. Earl is shown last April, presenting the graphics that sold her budgets and left little room for ignoring the facts. Her budget books have won national awards for years for best budget presentation.

Gretsas said that the 2003 City Budget was approximately two-thirds of the way completed, and that Ms. Earl had "gotten us through the capital budget." He said that Ms. Earl had worked for the city 23 years, and will be missed very much.
Asked if there was plans to do a national search for a successor to Ms. Earl, who is assisted by Ann Reasoner (Assistant Budget Director), Gretsas said the Mayor will be making a statement on this matter "in the next few days."
Benerofe Recalls the Earl Legacy
Jim Benerofe, White Plains Week commentator, editor of Suburban Street for over twenty years, now editor of the website, suburbanstreet.com, an observer of White Plains governments coming and going for the last forty years, said this of Ms. Earl's contributions to the city:
"She's probably one of the best of the financial people the city's ever head," the editor said. "Her contribution to the city is going to be hard to replace."
Benerofe credits her to contributing greatly to the city's financial health today: "Her work here as Budget Director is probably the reason why the city is in the best financial shape of any city in Westchster, and that is due to her."
