Cuts to Arkansas parks run by the Corps of Engineers are nothing new.
In February, 20 parks in the Corps` Little Rock area closed due to budget constraints.
Now, more cuts could be on the way.
Tourism leaders say more cuts will hurt the state`s tax base. They argue Arkansas parks are among the most used in the country and that many visitors are from out-of-state and bring important tax money to Arkansas.
The final decision on cuts will be left to lawmakers in Washington.
