A city of Oconomowoc municipal code declares pit bulls as "vicious," but an alderman wants that to change. Ald. Kevin Ellis has proposed an ordinance to amend the language that says pit bulls should be presumed vicious. "I received my dog, Charlie, at my father's death," Ellis stated in a document submitted to the common council. "I was one of those people who thought of pit bulls as an evil dog. I remember when my dad told me that he had gotten one. I thought he was crazy, and when he passed away and I got him I immediately put him up for adoption."
