In 1966, Fulco introduced legislation to extend homestead exemptions to veterans of the [[Vietnam War]] and the [[Cold War]]. He worked to build a school for the mentally retarded in northwestern Louisiana, to license out-of-state salespeople operating within Louisiana, and to eliminate the double [[sales tax]] paid by out-of-state residents who relocate to Louisiana and must relicense their vehicles.

Early in 1969, Governor John McKeithen replaced Fulco on the House Budget Committee with freshman Representative Lonnie Odell Aulds (1925-1984), also of Shreveport. The matter sparked divisiveness in the Caddo Parish delegation, but McKeithen tried to smooth over the hard feelings with self-deprecating humor in an engagement in Shreveport in mid-February 1969.<ref>Charlotte Burrows, "McKeithen leaves them 'em Laughing, Gasping," ''The Shreveport Times,'' February 18, 1969.</ref>
