PRICHARD, Ala. (AP) — An attorney representing Prichard in the south Alabama city's bankruptcy proceedings says the city's debt is probably more than $1 million.

Attorney Scott Williams says bills from some of the city's largest creditors, including Allied Waste, are being paid.

But Williams says money owed to retired city employees who did not receive a pension check last month must be added to the equation.

A first set of bankruptcy hearings for the city has been scheduled for Nov. 16. Prichard's bankruptcy petition is its second in a decade.
