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.

County Council of Prince George's County ...

Seeks to INCREASE the number of CONSECUTIVE TERMS a person Can Serve on the Prince George's County Council!

Prince Georgians, you had better PAY ATTENTION! Here is what your elected members of the County Council are up to with as little publicity as possible. They want to increase term limits from two terms to three terms. You the voters imposed term limits in 1992! Now, the County Council wants to THROW OUT YOUR VOTE, and increase their terms to THREE TERMS or TWELVE YEARS!

Did you know about this?

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.

Although I no longer live in a municipality, I enjoy getting news from you - it helps me to keep up with the rest of the County. That is especially true regarding the proposal to increase the number of terms by the County Council. Thanks for sharing, and I will pass along to the members of my community in the Bowie/Mitchellville area (I'm Pres. of the community assn.)

I didn't know about this until today and it is too late to attend the meeting. How else can we show our county government what we think about this idea?
