Look back at the last time Democrats took charge of the Onondaga County Legislature

Onondaga County Democrats partied on Election night last week like it was 1977.

The evening saw the party take control of the County Legislature for the first time since voters went to the polls 48 years ago, back to a time when “Rumours” by Fleetwood Mac was America’s top album, “Star Wars” still ruled at the box office, and ABC dominated primetime television with “Laverne and Shirley,” “Three’s Company,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “Happy Days.”
