State parks deal with budget cuts
Jeff and Carrie Burnett, of Dothan, Ala., walk with their children Kara Beth, 3, and Kaylan, 1 (Jeff is carrying Kaylan on his back), as they return to their vehicle after visiting the falls at the Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge in Dawsonville. State parks have not escaped the state's budget cuts. The Georgia Board of Natural Resources recently approved a plan to close or shorten hours at up to seven historic sites and six state parks.
