The Boston Herald reports Sara Myerson, who was hired in April as the executive director for the Office of Olympic Planning, will be staying on under the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

Myerson is the first to drop following the bid's fall. It is not clear how much Boston 2024 must pay the U.S. Olympic Committee.
