Here are some of the issues I see that the town of Cuberland and its citizens are facing.
1) Taxes are as high as many other large towns and villages.
2) Sewer rates that are higher than most all other surrounding areas.
3) Very little commercial growth to help build a tax base.
4) Large amounts of residential land being annexed into the town.
5) Zoning and building codes that can help reduce the number of lower value homes.
6) Road conditions.
7) Communication between the town and MVCSC school board.
8) Communication between the town and Hancock county.
9) School and commercial impact fee studies.
These are what I feel are some of the major issues we face and I will post expanded thoughts on these as we move along in this campaign.
You can contact me with other issues and concerns that you have and I will post and discuss them with you.

About Me
- Joseph Siefker
- Hello, My name is Joe Siefker. I have lived in Cumberland since 2003. I was the President of the Valley Brook Village HOA for 4 yrs. Prior to moving here, we lived near Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was on the zoning board of appeals for Cooper Township for 4 years. I then was moved up to the Zoning Board, on which I served for 2 years before having to give up the post to move to the Indianapolis area. So I have spent the last 9 years serving my friends and neighbors and would like to continue to do so on the Cumberland Town Council. I work with radiation therapy cancer patients in Indy as my day job and have had this career for 20 years. I am married and have 2 daughters in the Mt Vernon School district.
