It was a great Graduation, the sun came out in time for the Students' Speeches, which were great. But the really cool thing is the rainbow that appeared over the Students just before the speeches started. So just over the Rainbow you will find the RHS Class of 2010. Take a look at this photo!

Council agrees to recycling change; Vernon will go to automated single stream
VERNON — Town Council members voted Tuesday to make a major upgrade to the town’s trash and recycling routine by moving to single-stream recycling and using automated trucks. The Mayor’s Department Head of the Department of Public works explained that by doing this the Town will save $225,000.00. Mayor McCoy said this will not only be good for the environment but it makes good fiscal sense which is something that Vernon will need in these tough fiscal times.

Journal Inquirer > Letters To The Editor > Sept. 21: "For McCoy
I suggest that Vernon’s public has been sated with the town’s Democrats beating Mayor Jason McCoy about his nominee for Public Works director. It seems this is their only plank during this election season. A review of the entire record of this energetic and mature leader is warranted."
I suggest that Vernon’s public has been sated with the town’s Democrats beating Mayor Jason McCoy about his nominee for Public Works director. It seems this is their only plank during this election season.A review of the entire record of this energetic and mature leader is warranted.McCoy has passed the last two budgets on their first referendum due to his fiscal restraint. He has opened dialog with the Board of Education and together with the board the town has seen savings in operations, maintenance, and salary accounts. McCoy worked with the Board of Education to consolidate facilities and find potential tenants for Talcottville School.He has pushed forward an agenda to reduce substandard housing in Rockville. McCoy has put policies in place to reduce the consumption of fuel and electricity by the town of Vernon. He has kept our parks and recreational facilities open under extreme economic conditions.McCoy has increased collections of back taxes and is keeping that collection rate high. McCoy has pushed forward with information-technology improvements, leveraging technology and the town’s use of its Web site. He completed the Vernon Avenue bridge and work has begun on the Spring Street bridge. McCoy secured state funding for replacement of the Phoenix Street bridge. He has reduced town debt service by $1 million in the last budget, thus creating savings for future budgets.McCoy worked with CL&P to improve energy infrastructure on West Road. He has secured funding and begun the process of rebuilding Prospect Street. McCoy is completing the rebuilding of Bolton Road, taking steps to ensure the project is completed within budget. He has kept our streets safe and secure.
And let us not forget that under McCoy’s orchestration all seven of our schools opened on time after an exhaustive summer of reconstruction.
While his detractors are quibbling over a singular and insignificant issue, McCoy is moving Vernon forward fiscally, technologically, and environmentally.
Let’s keep this high achiever where he can do the most good for Vernon-Rockville by re-electing McCoy on Nov. 3.

It’s official: McCoy's Running! Vernon Connecticut
VERNON — Mayor Jason L. McCoy said he’s looking to continue a recent trend of controlling spending, lower taxes, better schools, safer streets and common sense governance, as he accepted his party’s nomination for a second term as the town’s chief executive Tuesday at the Senior Center.
McCoy pointed to the historically low annual spending plan approved last spring that limited new spending, lowered the tax rate, created better and fast access to services, and to other accomplishments including the completion of several of the town’s ailing bridges.
“To me, these things are important,” he said.McCoy said he wasn’t sure he’d seek a second term as mayor until last weekend, but forecasts of a worsening economy prompted him to run.
State Sen. Anthony Guglielmo, R-Stafford, called McCoy a capable mayor who has done skilled work to control spending in a tough economy. “Competence counts,” he said.
“We have a solid, experienced crew that has done a good job in the past two years,” GOP Town Chairman Hal Cummings said, adding, “But there are still a lot of issues and a lot of work left to be done.”
The GOP is running incumbents George Apel and Anne Fisher for four-year terms, and Laura Bush and Vicky Rispoli for two-year terms for the Board of Education.
The GOP candidates for Vernon Town Council are Deputy Mayor Brian Motola, Mark Etre, Dan Anderson, Bill Campbell, Harry Thomas, Sean O’Shea, Judy Hany and Dan Champagne.

Vernon GOP Chooses McCoy
Hartford Courant I-Town
Vernon GOP Chooses McCoy
Vernon Mayor Jason McCoy accepted the GOP nomination for a second term as Vernon's Mayor on Tuesday, July 28, by thanking the group for allowing him to serve as Vernon's mayor. The mayor said he's looking to continue to control government spending, offer better schools, make our streets safer and use common sense in governance.
Receiving the GOP nomination for the board of education are incumbents George Apel and Anne Fisher for four-year terms, and Laura Bush and Vicki Rispoli for two-year terms for the Board of Education. The GOP candidates for Vernon Town Council are Deputy Mayor Brian Motola, Mark Etre, Dan Anderson, Bill Campbell, Harry Thomas, Sean O'Shea, Judy Hany and Dan Champagne.
Mayor McCoy said this was incredible group and it will be his privilege to run with them.
Mayor McCoy pointed to the last two approved budgets, which held the line on increased spending by .85 percent in the face of the repayment of money from the 2005 bonding project. He also cited a lower tax rate; creation of technology for better citizen access to service; the town's bridges which are completed, under construction or in design; a proposed energy improvement district; implementation of a policy to decrease governments usage of energy and fuel through implementation of no idling rules, key hold accountability, synthetic oil usage, bringing single stream recycling to Vernon, passage of an ordinance for a tax exemption for hybrid vehicles to encourage citizens to buy vehicles that would reduce reliance on fossil fuel.
McCoy explained how he fought for Vernon and other towns in Connecticut to reduce CRRA tipping fees or garbage disposal fees which reduced costs for towns. McCoy also procured grants to replace Vernon Vehicles with hybrid vehicles to reduces fuel usage, save money and protect our environment.
McCoy worked on the relationship with the members of the board of education, prompting a rule passed by the BOE that stopped transfer of funds without BOE approval, a huge step in controlling spending and transparency for the citizens of the town. The council, BOE and the mayor relationship saved nearly $1,000,000 for taxpayers, according to the Vernon Republicans.
"To me, these things are important," Mayor McCoy said.
State Senator Anthony Guglielmo, R-Stafford, called McCoy a capable mayor who has done skilled work to control spending in a tough economy. "Competence counts and Mayor McCoy is more than just competent," he said.
"Mayor McCoy and our ticket have experience, they offer what Vernon needs now- good fiscal sense, they have done an amazing job in these tough economic times," said GOP Chairman Hal Cummings.

Town Budget To Go Before Voters
Vernon Budget To Go Before Voters
The Hartford Courant
April 15, 2009
VERNON
Vernon -Residents will have their say on a proposed $76 million budget at a town meeting April 28.The town council approved the $76 million budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year late last week by a 7-3 vote, sending it to the annual meeting.
The $76,089,866 budget represents an increase of 0.85 percent over the current $75.5 million spending plan. The proposed budget is an increase of $638,264.General government increased $380,696, or 1.52 percent, to $25,468,149. The board of education budget increased 0.3 percent, to $45,835,932, after Mayor Jason L. McCoy reduced $300,000 from the board. The board will be meeting over the next few weeks to determine exactly where those cuts will be made.
This is the final year of a three-year phase-in of the town's 2006 revaluation.
Under the proposed budget, the tax rate or mill rate is reduced by just over 6%.
The annual town meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Rockville High School auditorium, will determine the budget unless residents petition for a referendum. Last year, the budget passed on the first try.
