Build something seemingly beneficial to the public and reap profit with little risk. a light rail line from Navy Pier down Columbus to the Museum Campus would be a better idea.

There is a light rail between Navy Pier and Museum Campus using the McCormick Busway included in the One Central proposal.
It still doesn't make it the best use of the state's financial resources. But if the state has to repay the developer in 20 years anyway, then it might as well build its own transit with cheaper stations, and let the developer pay for his deck and fancy superstation using his own money.
