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.

Water Main Break/Repairs/Water Station

As everyone knows by now, there is a water main break on Queens Chapel Road. WSSC is and has been out there making repairs most of the day. WSSC believes that the repair will be complete by midnight tonight. Mayor and Council have followed their progress all day, and posted information on the City's website, cable channels and listserv. The following is available for persons who MAY need water.

WSSC has setup a temporary water station near Advance Auto Parts on Queens Chapel Road.We have been told by WSSC's representative, Kevin Wilbright, that he will go to the apartments in the surrounding areas to find out about their water situations, and provide them with water if necessary. Our community contact person for the water station is Dave Wilkins and he can be reached at (301) 648-6953.

Please your Ward Council member, City Manager or me, know, if you are having water issues. My email address is mayormiles@gmail.com.

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.
