• explaining that agency expertise, although it is a goal of administrative exhaustion, does not always support requiring exhaustion
• observing that when the language of a legal provision is clear or unambiguous our interpretative inquiry ends
• “courts give significant weight to the agency’s interpretation of the statute that it is required to administer”
• “We cannot require the exhaustion of an administrative remedy process that is inapplicable to a prisoner’s alleged grievance”
• Statues should be interpreted so as to “avoid unreasonable or illogical results that defy common sense.”
• If the Legislature’s intentions are evident from the text of the statute, a court’s inquiry will normally cease and the plain meaning of the statute will govern
