That was the most unprofessional interview I have ever seen on a louisville station.

Voter, I disagree with your positive take on Wayside getting into the real estate speculation business, but must agree with your MAYORS inclusion in my list….

What if the flip doesn’t happen the way you think it will? If Wayside eats the $7-8M+ difference in value for the property, how will that loss impact their ability to feed and house the homeless?

I’m sorry, but Moseley has no business taking that kind of risk given Wayside’s non-profit status and mission responsibility.

Who knows?…..That’s right!…..Hell , if it wasn’t Wayside?….would anyone give a hoot? So what if they made a Smart deal? So what if they took a risk and may “flip” it to JCC. Anyone ever think that the City had plenty of time to make a deal with Goldsmith, but probably wanted to screw him…..Hell had it been Cordish holding the paper Jerry would have unCorked and given him three times face value!…..No reason to beat up Goldsmith….Jerry didn’t offer him squat probably!…..But I guarantee Jerry was telling Goldsmith what he wanted & expected him to do with the property. Instead of giving the Cordish guys 16Million for property , IN A BUDGET CRUNCH, maybe that money could have been used to acquire & secure the Hotel property, ……Now that Jerry couldn’t Bully Gus, & Wayside may have a great profit in a flip deal….Jerry & the City A-Holes have just proved that they got out negociated again …..Just like the Cordish guys have done to them!…..Wake UP!……The Mayor is giving away millions……and he won’t secure a property that is in the scheme of an overall plan for downtown……who cares how muck money the Wayside has to buy the place…..I’ll bet that that place had at least 5Million spent on it recently when it was renovated…….and if JCC buys it and pays a premium?…..Congrats to Mosley for making a good deal for Wayside, I’m sure the profit they make will be used for a great cause, like maybe a State of the Art Downtown Soup Kitchen where all those people they help can get three squares a day.

I’m curious how paying $10 million for a facility that certainly will cost millions more to renovate and run makes any sense. Hell, $10 million dollars could have bought 60+ $150,000 houses around town to put people up in.

This stinks to high heaven.

something should smell fishy rumor has it Gus Goldsmith is carrying part of the loan , heard Mary was spotted several times going into Action Loan prior to the auction, Im sure she wasn’t there to sell her gold…my sources also tell me Gus had several heated arguments with Mayor Jerry over the JCTC deal and threatened to turn it into a flop house for degenerates, he definitely orchestrated the whole thing. Hope the reporters do their leg work and get the real story behind the $10 million purchase who’s really benefitting the homeless or GUS GOLDSMITH my sources say Gus Goldsmith

What about the Brown Hotel? It is a landmark and now it will be ruined? Who will want to go there when the hotel across the street is a huge homeless shelter? This makes no sense –our town’s precious Brown Hotel will be destroyed! Someone in power needs to make this madness stop!

Moseley certainly needs to answer to Wayside’s donors about this matter.

But I don’t see Mr. Cain’s ambush “journalism” as necessary, except to bolster WHAS ratings during sweeps. His style in this report was offensive. He wasn’t talking to a criminal, or somebody engaged in outright mischief, but he sure acted like she was either of those. Tsk, tsk.

Moseley seems to think her position is sound. I don’t see why she has to explain it to WHAS or the general public.

On top of all that, the homeless have to live somewhere. Might as well be at 2nd and Broadway (if that’s Wayside’s ultimate intention). Let’s not assume they’re not good people like you and me. We can’t just keep shuffling our fellow human beings around like this.

Personally I don’t know about giving money to any of these so called national organizations or any of these local organizations. It seems to me that they are increasingly tainted by either ideology, money grubbing, or some other problem. I suspect that they should clean up their own acts before wanting money from anyone. Maybe you can give canned goods to Kentucky Harvest or at least something where food or clothing is involved and forget the money thing. Its time to hold these people accountable as we would want to do with our government.

I would not donate any money to an organisation that doesn’t give damn about overspending millions on a piece of property.

Why in the world did Wayside pay so much for this property? Mosely is in charge of Wayside and she just blew 10 million for a property that would be lucky to sell for 1/2 that in good ecomomic times. Surely there is a property appraisal floating around somewhere.
If Gus Goldsmith is involved run in the other direction.
