The extraordinary trial, expected to last days, brings the bankruptcy case to its most cru- cial stage since Detroit in July made the largest public filing in U.S. history.. If a judge finds certain legal requirements were met, the city would get the green light to restructure $18 billion in debt and possibly slash pensions for thousands of people, the most controversial target so far. Hundreds of protesters walked in a circle outside the courthouse with signs that said, "Bail out people not banks." In his opening statement, attorney Bruce Bennett said he "could stand here for hours" to describe the "mountain of evidence" that shows Detroit is insolvent. Without relief, he added, 65 cents of every dollar in residents pay in taxes could be needed to address the problem, leaving little for everyday servic- es for 700,000 residents. "This is one of those cases where the data speaks very clear- ly and persuasively on its own. It needs no gloss," Bennett told Judge Steven Rhodes. He was followed by a line of attorneys, representing unions, pension funds and retiree groups, who didn't seem to challenge the ruinous condition of Detroit's finances but zeroed in on a key test under bankruptcy law: Did the city negotiate with creditors in good faith before the Chapter 9 000' 00 filingt No way, they said. The judge stood to get a better view as Jennifer Green, an attor- ney for pension funds, used a screen to show months of emails and memos from state and city officials talking about bankrupt- cy preparation, not fruitful talks with creditors. Sharon Levine ofthe American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said talks between Detroit and its unions should have lasted months not weeks. Another lawyer, Babette Ceccotti with the United Auto Workers, said the bankruptcy filing was aimed at using federal law to attack pensions, which otherwise are protected under the Michigan Constitution. "Chapter 9 was already a for- gone conclusion" before the city last met with creditors a week before the filing, Green said. Bennett, however, said emer- gency manager Kevyn Orr'steam was cooperative and open to sug- gestions. "The city created a data base, populated it with enormous amounts of information and did not withhold information to get an edge," he said. "The city did act in good faith in all of the negotiations. The negotiations were unsuccessful." The first and only witness Wednesday was Gaurav Mal- hotra, an analyst from Ernst & Young. He said he warned Orr last summer that Detroit likely was facing a 10-year budget defi- cit of $3.9 billion, mainly due to pensions and health care costs. Detroit is being run by Orr, a bankruptcy specialist who was appointed in March by Gov. Rick Snyder. They will be trial wit- nesses, along with Police Chief James Craig and outside financial consultants. Michigan's emergency manag- er law gives Orr wide discretion to operate the city, from hiring people to deciding how services are delivered. Many local elect- ed officials, including Mayor Dave Bing, are on the sideline and have no role in the trial. a Netanyahu, Kerry meet for seven hours to discuss disarmament ROME (AP) - Israel's prime minister urged the U.S. on Wednesday to be as tough in nuclear negotiations with Iran as it is about dismantling Syria's chemical weapons stockpile. The comments put new pres- sure on Washington to convince two of its key Mideast allies that America will not sell out their interests as it tentatively warms diplomacy with Tehran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the start of a sev- en-hour meeting with U.S. Sec- retary of State John Kerry, said the world should not acceptwhat he called a "partial deal" with Iran. He said that would include any agreement that falls short of requiring Iran to end all enrich- ment on uranium, get rid of all fissile material, and close water plants and underground bunkers that he said are only necessary to build a nuclear bomb. Negotiations between Iran and world powers, which resumed several weeks ago after a six-month lull, have come nowhere near demanding the level of tough restrictions on Tehran that Israel wants. The nuclear talks also have spooked Saudi Arabia, spurring Kerry to meetwith top officials from both Mideast nations about an issue that has unified the two long- time adversaries. Iran maintains that its nucle- ar program is peaceful, and its capabilities necessary for energy and medical uses. "A partial deal that leaves Iran with these capabilities is a bad deal," Netanyahu told Kerry at the start of their meeting in Rome. "You wisely insisted there wouldn't be a partial deal with Syria. You're right. If (Syr- ian President Bashar) Assad had said, 'Well, I'd like to keep, I don't know, 20 percent, 50 percent, or 80 percent of my chemical weap- ons capability,' you would have refused, and correctly so." Netanyahu also said the U.S. should retain its harsh economic sanctions against Iran until it dismantles its nuclear program. "That's what got them into these renewed negotiations in the first place," he said. Obama admin- istration officials are weighing whether to ease some sanctions - even as some U.S. lawmakers in Congress are eyeing plans to tighten the economic hurdles - if Iran takes steps to scale back its program. Kerry, who spent the last three days in meetings with European and Mideast officials that focused mostly on Iran and Syria, said the U.S. would con- tinue to do everything it can to prevent Tehran from building nuclear weapons. But he stopped short of agreeing with Netanya- hu's demands. "We will need to know that actions are being taken which make it crystal clear, undeniably clear, failsafe to the world, that whatever (Iranian) program is pursued is indeed a peaceful program," Kerry said. "No deal is better than a bad deal. But if this can be solved satisfactorily, diplomatically, it is clearly better for everyone.
