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.

Goodbye to the Gazette

Love it or hate it, The Gazette played a major role in our lives and the County over the past few decades.

With mixed emotions I read that the final issue of the Gazette would be printed this month. Not sure why they are closing, but I know I will miss them.

I use to love getting the copies in my driveway. I hated seeing them on the roofs or just laying out there in the rain.

I could always go online and find a story that they published, and regardless of their position, it would always be there.

Thanks for the many years of service.

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.
