After debates on how millions of dollars remaining in surplus should be spent, the Erie County Legislature settled.

The $600,000 will go towards expanding the Erie County Sheriff's Body Camera Program. Majority Leader, April Baskin, says the additional funding is enough to fit 100 deputies with cameras.

That funding, coincidentally was allocated on the same day. Deputy Kenneth Acthyl was charged with assaulting a Bills' tailgater.

"We see this is something imperative when it comes to public safety," Baskin said. "If someone is on the road and interacting with civilians or putting their lives on the line, protecting the public they need to have those cameras on them."

The Albright Knox Museum stands to benefit the most from the surplus with $5 million to benefit renovation efforts.

"I do believe we were successful in providing arts and cultural enrichment. We were also able to provide a lot of funding towards poverty initiative," Baskin said.

More than $1 million dollars are on the books for that initiative. The rest of the surplus has been divided among fixing infrastructure in Lackawanna, Tonawanda, and Buffalo.

"Those taxpayers often pay tax dollars and those tax dollars are used for road repair, but we all know the county owns roads that does not reside in the city's, so we were successfully able to get another couple $100,000 to take care of projects within the cities," Baskin said.
