What will have changed in North Baton Rouge by the end of Broome's first term?

Any predictions on business growth, employment, poverty, education, crime, race relations, quality of life?

Little will change I'm afraid.

Not a thing. It may even get worse.

Nothing will change. It will be pissing money away.

Likely, nothing, but hopefully she'll be able to broker a deal to get an ER up there again, which would significantly improve response times and make service better at OLOL.
Hopefully, her community policing policy will reduce crime in the Plank Road area like it did in Gardere. I'm not going to hold my breath, but I'm not going to automatically write it off as a failure before she's even in office. In all honesty, she was the continuity candidate for Kip.

Nothing.
It will still be a shithole, generally.
But, the contagion of crime and general decline will have spread to previously unaffected parts of the parish.

Would wholeheartedly support this.

I believe she will fund tutoring and extra curricular activities for urban youths. Win with the children, reap later.

Will we be paying additional property taxes or sales taxes or both for this one?

Who knows.
Some of y'all are melting worse than the snowflakes did re: Trump winning.
I apparently need to sell my house in BR proper by the end of the week, otherwise I'll be living in Louisiana's version of Baltimore.

Nothing. You serious?

The housing stock mostly sucks. The infrastructure is more cohesive, but the schools are terrible. It's next door to a giant refinery.
I just don't see any real investment going in north of Choctaw. People who grew up there get out when they can.

the melt has been very strong on this one

Certain people and companies will get contracts for projects that will not improve anything. Midnight basketball anyone?

Nothing will change. The same that has ever changed in NBR
The only thing that may change is with little money spent in SBR, the tax payers will finally bug out, and they can then begin to refer to it all as NBR, but with no real significant tax base to pull from anymore when everyone cuts their losses and bugs out.
This is going to be one titanic of a catastrophe for BR. I don't even want to think about it right now. It's that bad.

No, you're still good for a week or few. But hyperbole doesn't change the facts of the matter, though.
The real issue is not the election of Broome. It's the realities of the EBR electorate, who voted in majorities for her, Hillary Clinton, Foster Campbell, etc. etc. etc.
Those majorities are on the increase. How much longer till the Metro Council reaches the tipping point and the parish is under control of the democrat party machine in total? When that happens, then whatever liberal policies that new look Council can't implement on its own, will be easily adopted when they decide to put it to a vote of the increasingly democrat electorate.
