From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

Perry Street Blockade

Have you seen the blockade? Mayor and Council made this blockade temporary on Perry to slow traffic, curb drug activity, and make the neighborhood safer. We are testing this to see if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and inconveniences that are experienced by other residents.

You can weigh in on this blockade by posting your comments to this blog. You can also go over and see the blockade before or after submitting your comments.

I would like to hear from you.

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
