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.

TIME TO VISIT ANNAPOLIS!

Here are two good reasons to visit Annapolis, Maryland during the Legislative Session.

1. February 14, 2018, MML and the 157 municipalities that it represents will be in Annapolis asking OUR legislators to RESTORE our Highway User Revenues (HURS) that were cut in 2008 and were never restored when the economy started rebounding. HURs funding comes from the gas tax that we pay at the gas pump that goes directly to the State Coffers and then is SUPPOSED to be returned to the municipalities for fixing up our streets and roads. We need to pack the chambers of justice in Maryland. IT IS CRITICAL THIS YEAR more than last year BECAUSE IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR, and if this legislative body can't hear us, MAYBE we can elect one in JUNE that CAN!

2. The 47th Legislative District is hosting a reception in Annapolis on February 12. See the poster in this post.

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.
