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.

Eighteen Years Later

Today has come and gone, but not without its rewards, a major scare, and high time with my daughter, Nneka Barnes, a scolding from my granddaughter, Lat Rice, and a visit from three other grandchildren. Feeling the love.

Thank you, Nneka Barnes, for being there with me in 2005 when I was one of three (3) to be the first awarded the William Jefferson Jackson Honors Award!  And, yes, thank you for being there with me eighteen (18) years later to see the inductees for this year and the past eighteen (18) years!  YOU ROCK!

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.
