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.

Mount Rainier's City Council Experiences TWO firsts Tuesday Night

On Tuesday night, March 3, 2015, Mount Rainier Swore in its Board of Elections. All seven members of the Board were present, and followed their swearing in with a meeting of the Board. Here is the Board of Elections with Mayor Malinda Miles, and Vice Mayor Jesse Christopherson.

Prior to the swearing in, former City Councilmember, now State Delegate Jimmy Tarlau made official presentations to new Councilmembers Jacqlyn Riposo and Bryn Knedler (former Councilmember and Mayor). This official presentation was then followed by another official presentation to our new Councilmembers by former Cheverly Councilmember, and now Chief of Staff for County Councilmember Deni Taveras.

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.
