JUST A LOAD OF BULL?

$5 million offered for Wall Street icon

Sunny Group's apparent search for marketing publicity continued this week with another PR announcement of an offer to purchase a headline-grabbing property.

The New York Post reported midweek that the group's Casino Fortune is prepared to ante up more than $5 million to put its name on "The Charging Bull," a 7,000-pound bronze sculpture near Wall Stree currently "for sale".

But city officials, who can veto the sale, may be uneasy about letting a gaming business put its logo beneath a statue whose image has been closely linked with capitalism and the stock market

The city fathers and artist Arturo Di Modica will have to approve the buyer, who will have to donate the bull and keep it in its current home at Bowling Green.
