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.

FIREWORKS -- FIREWORKS -- Going on for hours in my neighborhood.

The air quality is awful because of all of the illegal fireworks in Mount Rainier. You can smell the residue, smokes, and chemicals all over the house, even with all three air purifiers going. Of course, there are no police or anyone to stop them from setting them off. Wearing my mask inside!

Folks, it is time to let the fireworks go. Some of us are NOT enjoying the noise or the smoke/residue left behind. Thank you.

In Maryland, most fireworks — including bottle rockets, firecrackers, Roman candles, fire balloons, and signal lights — are illegal.

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.
