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.

Thank you Mount Rainier RESIDENTS!

Closer to home. Mayor and Council hosted a hearing in the community room at the Mount Rainier Police Department to a standing-room crowd of residents, business owners, and customers opposing or supporting the renewal of Chuck's Liquor License.

Regardless of which side you are on, I take my hat off to all of you for the decorum, civility, and passion you brought to the hearing.

Like many of you, I dreaded to think how the hearing would go, and really wished I could just stay home and hope that this would pass. I am so glad to once again state how proud I am to live in the great City of Mount Rainier. You truly represented the meaning of democracy, and each one of you articulated your position on the issue with respect for the other side. THANK YOU.

The next step in the process is to prepare to present your cases to the Prince George's Liquor Board, and no matter how they rule, I am hopeful that we will come back to Mount Rainier and continue to work to make this City the great City that I have come to call home.

The Liquor Board will hold its hearing on April 1, 2020, at 7:00 p.m.
9200 Basil Court
Room 410

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.
