		<description><![CDATA[The Halton District School Board trustees decided last night to include a motion in next week&#8217;s board meeting about initiating a Ward 4 boundary review. Two old sayings struck me last night as I listened to the discussions around the HDSB table. 1. Don&#8217;t shoot the messenger. 2. Play to the crowd. &#160; Don&#8217;t Shoot [...]]]></description>
