In response to the letter “Salary disparities” (BDN, June 4), Cindy Blodgett is neither young or inexperienced, having been involved in basketball since 1990 as player and coach; I would ask how much experience Ron Gastia has as a big city police chief.

Cindy’s salary is peanuts compared to what revenue she will generate for the university. Can you say millions!

Her name alone is worth more to the University of Maine than any other choice they had. She is a steal at $105,000. It should have been twice as much. Go Cindy, go Bears!
