BERLIN — Natalie Laflamme was pre-kindergarten back in the '90s when the state Supreme Court ruled the state’s school funding system was unconstitutional. Twenty-five years later the case is back before the court system and the Berlin native is one of the attorneys arguing against the state.

Three taxpayers in Plymouth and Penacook filed suit in Grafton Superior Court last month, arguing the state has failed to abide by the court decision to develop an equitable funding system.
