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.

First Council Meeting for Fiscal Year 2013

The Mount Rainier City Council has been on recess since July. I cannot speak for the Council, but I for one thoroughly enjoyed this MUCH needed break. It is one of the first real breaks that the Council has had in quite a long time. That being said, some work was done over and during the break. Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 3 will the first Council meeting of the new fiscal year. I hope that Mount Rainier residents will join the Mayor and Council as we begin this new session. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Mayor and Council are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month unless otherwise noted. Meetings begin at 7:00pm, and are HELD AT THE MOUNT RAINIER CITY HALL at One Municipal Place (next to the Metro Bus Stop), Mount Rainier MD 20712. There is time on the agenda for public input.

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.
