Ms. Reasoner succeeds Eileen Earl who resigned effective February 7.

Ms. Reasoner joined the city as Deputy Budget Director in July, 2001, coming from Deputy Comptroller of the Town of Stamford. Prior to this she served 17 years with the Town of Greenwich as Budget Director there where she designed the budget for both the city government and the city school district.

She remarked that she applied for the White Plains job in 2001 at the suggestion of a coworker in Stamford who was from White Plains. Reasoner said she took the Deputy Budget Director position, "kind of hoping" that Ms. Earl would retire in a few years. She said the two towns, Greenwich and White Plains, were very similar in that each was a combination of city and residential neighborhoods. Of the budgets of the two cities, the Greenwich budget was slightly larger because it covered the schools, too.

Ms. Reasoner said she did not plan any immediate changes in operations until the budget process was completed. She said she was looking for a new Deputy Budget Director, and that position has been advertised.

Asked about the budget situation, she remarked that the sales tax receipts were still running $2 Million behind expectations as they were one month ago.
