## Resource

New Kent County is handing out a $1.9 million tax rebate to homeowners — funded by its booming speed camera program on I-64 — even as it allocates another $3.2 million to upgrade public safety with a new fire engine and sheriff’s office equipment. The vote, narrowly passing 3-2, sparked debate: some supervisors argued the money should go toward hiring more deputies and tackling rising crime, warning the rebate could be seen as misusing funds under new state restrictions. Yet, the cameras have proven effective at cutting crashes, and the program is set to expand into James City County as roadwork continues — all while generating more revenue than expected.
