State Song Finalists

December 11th, 2007 by flanews

It�s down to three finalists in the contest for a new state of Florida song to replace Swannee River.� State Senator Tony Hill and Representative Ed Homan made the announcement.� More than 200 people submitted entries.�

�We�re not erasing Swannee River,” said Rep. Ed Homan from Tampa.� “And people can sing it as much as they want.� It�s a part of Florida�s history.� We�re not erasing the fact that Indians lived in Florida or anything else about our history.� But Florida�s change since when that song was chosen.� I think it�s admirable that Senator Hill says it�s time for new song.� And the governor�s behind that and so am I.�

To vote for your choice, go to www.justsingflorida.org on the web.� The new state song will be revealed next month.
