INDIANA — State Senator Eric Koch (R-Bedford) is leading the charge to commemorate a historic milestone in American history. On Thursday, Feb. 12, Sen. Koch formally recognized the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence by presenting Senate Resolution 21 before the full Senate.
