Judge to rule on San Bernardino's bankruptcy eligibility

Today, the city of San Bernardino learns whether it's eligible for bankruptcy protection. The case has garnered nation-wide attention since it could set a precedent as the first city ever allowed to get out of its pension obligations to city employees.

That's a big issue in the far bigger bankruptcy case of Detroit.

Joining the show to explain what the outcome in San Bernardino could mean is California-based bankruptcy attorney Michael Sweet.
