Lawmakers are putting a stop to double-dipping into government pension systems but there's still a major problem with underfunding.  House Minority Leader Tom Cross says the problem won't go away.

Cross says it's the worst issue the legislature is going to face but it can't be ignored.  He says several factors contribute to the problem, including people living longer and pension enhancements but the primary blame belongs to the state.  The state has failed to make payments over the years but seven and a half billion dollars is being paid into the system this year.
