		Di Modica spent two years and over $300,000 of his own money to create the statue, comprised of approximately 3 tons of bronze and 200 pounds of stainless steel, according to Steve Makky, owner of Brooklyn's Bedi-Makky Art Foundry Corp., where the statue was cast.

		But after Di Modica ran into problems with police and area businesses over the location, the city agreed to display the bull in a downtown park, where it will be officially dedicated today.
