DescriptionA legislative leader said Thursday it's "exceedingly unlikely" the Legislature will take up the issue of gay marriage this year, regardless of the outcome of an Iowa Supreme Court decision expected Friday.

"From my perspective it would require a suspension of the joint rules," said Gronstal. "It's unlikely that will happen."
