Gina Roberson, the Grants Officer for the City of Harrisburg, speaks in support of City Council President Wanda Williams' decision to bulldoze the Green Urban Initiative urban garden located at 6th and Curtin Streets in Harrisburg. Robeson chastises GUI members for their outrage over the covert destruction of the garden declaring there are more important things to worry about in the City. Aside from the fact that the bulldozing of the garden violated the lease between the City and GUI, there has yet to be a disclosure of the cost of the undertaking led by Public Works Deputy Director Aaron Johnson.---Tara Leo Auchey
