The drafters of Part I, Article 37 recognized, however, that the separation of powers doctrine “does not require the erection of impenetrable barriers between the branches of our government.” Petition of Mone, 143 N.H. 128, 134 (1998) (quotation omitted). The doctrine thus “contemplates some overlapping and duality in the division as a matter of practical and essential expediency.” McKay v. N.H. Compensation Appeals Bd., 143 N.H. 722, 726 (1999) (quotation omitted).
