The sequester cuts may be hitting areas that you might not think about.

Things like this year's Spring Break trip.

If lawmakers can't make a deal by Friday, we'll see $110 million in cuts, just to  National Parks alone.

Seven of those parks, right here in Arkansas, potentially shut down because they could  run out of money.

Another area, FEMA, and with the Natural State already seeing its fair share of severe weather,  cuts to emergency responder jobs could mean a longer response and recovery time when disaster strikes.
