Happy Wednesday, Catonsville! Here's everything you need to know going on today.

First, today's weather:

Here are the top three stories in Catonsville today:

1. A Catonsville family has a little more information about the officers who came to their home three times to serve warrants to a suspect who did not live there. On Apr. 4, 2022, it was confirmed that the officers were from the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS). The Lovaas family said DPSCS apologized, and a DPSCS spokeswoman confirmed that the department is conducting an administrative investigation. (WBAL TV Baltimore)
2. On Monday, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. and Baltimore County Police Chief Melissa Hyatt announced the budget plan for 2023. The plan includes hiring 100 more officers, including new floating school resource officers, a wellness director, a police-community engagement coordinator, new data scientists, and new forensics technicians. The budget plan will be presented to the Baltimore County Council on Apr. 14, 2022. (Patch)

Where should you invest as a Catonsville resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Catonsville residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
