On September 30, 2006, Thibaut was elected to the District F seat on the
Pointe Coupee Parish School Board over two other Democrats.
Louisiana House of Representatives In May 2017, Thibaut called for the combination of four previously separate pieces of legislation which collectively would have raised taxes on businesses and lowered them for what he said would constitute 90 percent of individual taxpayers. The measure was introduced by the Republican Representative
Rob Shadoin of
Ruston. It died in the House Ways and Means Committee, which prompted Shadoin to remark, "You can kiss tax reform goodbye." Democratic Governor
John Bel Edwards, who backed the Shadoin bill, blamed its defeat on the power of business
lobbyists. ==References==
