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 Passes the Land Development Agreement (LDA) that will allow the redevelopment of 3200 Rhode Island Avenue to move forward!

Although I do not have a picture of my own of the meeting of this current council, I must say that their faces, their contributions, and their love of Mount Rainier, Maryland will forever be a part of my love of the men and women in this great City.

Tonight, Councillmember Brent Bolin, Bryan Knedler, Jesse Christopehrson, and Jacqlyn Witmer Riposo voted to pass the City's budget for 2016, and the long awaited Land Development Agreement (LDA) that will move the City toward development of the corner of Rhode Island and Eastern Avenue. Lots of other business was addressed, but these were the two most significant pieces of the evening.

Thank you Council, and now LET'S MOVE our agenda forward.

Brent Bolin, best wishes for your continued success in your endeavors, and please stay involved.

Jacqlyn Riposo best wishes to you, and best wishes for your continued success, and future role in municipal government!

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.
