Welcome to

Florida�s theme music could change. For decades �Suwannee River� has been Florida�s state song. At a Senate committee meeting this morning lawmakers approved legislation to change the song. The song is offensive to many Floridians because of racially charges lyrics. Lawmakers are pushing a bill that would change the state song to �Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky.�

�I think the time that that song was adopted by resolution in 1935, is not the Florida we know today. I think that the Florida we see today is Where the Sawgrass meets the sky,� said Anthony Hill, a State Senator from Jacksonville.

Governor Charlie Crist called the current song �outdated� and didn�t play it at his inauguration
