Original Message SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KABC) -- California needs to pay an additional $4.5 billion a year for the next three decades to shore up its teacher retirement fund, according to a report released by the state's nonpartisan budget analyst.

The Legislative Analyst's Office declared that the California State Teachers' Retirement System "may be the state's most difficult fiscal challenge" and suggested that tackling the shortfall is perhaps more important than other state debts.

The bulk of that additional money will likely have to come from taxpayers because investments and teacher contributions aren't enough.

The report was presented to lawmakers Wednesday during a hearing on ways to address the pension fund's unfunded liability.

If action isn't taken, the pension fund is expected to run out of money by 2044.
