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.

ALL CITY SERVICES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

UPDATE:  City Hall remains closed today.  Public Works crew and our PoliceDepartment remain on the job.

Help is being brought in from Btentwood and Cottage City to help with snow removal on our streets.  The backup occurred because of one of our trucks breaking down during the early hours of the snow removal.  

The City reached out to surrounding municipalities for help, and now that their streets are cleaned they are asking other municipalities who are able to us plow out. As  of now, PW is working on 30th, 29th, 32nd today with the backhoe. They're working their way down on the side streets starting with Varnum as the day warms up.

As you dig out your cars, PLEASE pile the snow behind your car.  DO NOT THROW IT OUT ON THE STREET.

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.
