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.

Community Meeting on Race Relations, Policing, and Mount Rainier

A community meeting on community relations (racism, policing, etc.) has been called for WEDNESDAY, July 27, 2016, at 7:00 pm at the Joe's Movement Emporium.

As a resident, employee or someone that is concerned about this issue, I am inviting you to come out, and speak out on these matters. Some of you can talk about this based on your experiences here in Mount Rainier.

I am also ASKING that you invite your friends who know about these issues, have some concerns about these issues or just want to make Mount Rainier a better place to live to come out and let your voices be heard.

This community meeting will not be a one-time gathering. It is my goal that we continue this dialogue and that it leads to REAL CHANGE in our community. Working together, we CAN DO IT!

Don't forget to make copies and pass it on to your neighbors and other Mount Rainier residents.

Looking forward to seeing you on WEDNESDAY, July 27, 2016, at 7:00 pm. Child care is being provided for FREE so that you may actively participate.

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.
