The person selected to replace Don Marostica in HD 51 says he will defend the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.  Marostica has been  openly hostile to TABOR, the popular constitutional limit on the growth of government.

With Marostica serving as Governor Ritter’s new economic development director, the vacancy committee selected political newcomer and Domino’s Pizza chain owner Brian DelGrosso to replace him.

According the Loveland Reporter Herald, the 37-year-old DelGrosso beat four other candidates including Tom Buchanan, Kevan McNaught, Kari Koppes, and Jeanni Barnthouse.  He ran on a platform of defending TABOR and the “elimination of fees on businesses.”  DelGrosso intends to run for re-election in 2010.

I’ve never met him, but his support of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights indicates the district will be better served.
