IA: Same-sex “marriage” resolution on hold in Sioux City

The Des Moines Register reports:

Elected leaders in Sioux City, on a split vote Monday, delayed action on a controversial proposal to publicly oppose gay marriage.

Mayor Mike Hobart said he pushed for the delay to allow for advice from the state attorney general’s office “on whether we have the jurisdiction and authority to pass the resolution,” which was proposed by City Councilman Brent Hoffman.
