JOE KIEFER TO RUN FOR AT LARGE COUNTY COUNCIL SEAT

January 18, 2016

When I announced that I was not going to seek re-election for the County Commissioner’s seat, I stated that in the coming months I would be looking for other ways to serve our community.  I would like to announce that I plan to seek the office of the County Council as an At-Large member.  I feel my time on the Board of County Commissioners has served me well in understanding our needs in Vanderburgh County.  My broad experience having served as both a council member and a commissioner, I believe, will help me do a better job finding solutions to those needs. I plan on filing for this office Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at 3pm at the County Election Office.
I am 53 years old and the Managing Broker at Hahn Kiefer Real Estate Services.  I have a Bachelor Degree in Construction Management and two Master’s degrees, including a Master of Public Administration.  I have previously served as a member of the City Council and County Council and I am currently a member of the Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners.

  1. Mr. Kiefer would certainly have a lot on his plate should he be elected to the County Council.

    I also suspect that there would be many instances where Mr. Kiefer would have to abstain from voting on issues where he would have a financial interest involved.

    • There are the additional question that arise with these situations of voting for “incentive” packages for these projects that can include property tax abatement, personal property tax abatement, and no interest loans.

      If you, as an office holder, are frequently involved with the selling of real estate involved in the granting of these government “economic incentives”, then the public needs to know about it, and the problems it presents.

      • You’re acting like people around here actually care about corruption. Nothing will happen.

        • Who said anything about corruption here? What I am talking about is conflict of interest.
