Here are the top 3 stories in Catonsville today:

1. A study by United Van Lines revealed that in 2021, more people left Maryland permanently than moved into the state. Maryland currently ranks 35th on the list of states people moved to last year. The study predicts the trend toward remote work and the state's high housing costs could fuel more outward migration from Maryland in the future. (Patch)
2. A GoFundMe campaign has been created for Ryan Wills, a 24-year-old Baltimore County Police Officer who was injured in an off-duty car accident last month. Family members report that Wills suffered a spinal cord injury that has resulted in loss of feeling and movement. He is currently recovering the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute. (FOX Baltimore)
