I wonder if Broome can dictate what happens on state property?

Again, imagine the costs associated with the logistics of renaming streets, buildings, and other symbols.
Who is paying for all of this?

Most of this is due to the roads not being connected originally. For example, Bluebonnet in between Jefferson and Airline was a field 20 years ago.
There are three Hyacinth Avenues: One between Perkins and Staring, one in Pollard Estates, and one from Brame Drive to Cedardale Avenue. The original plan was to connect them as one, but that never came to fruition.

Once it’s all gone, it never happened.

What is more racist, streets named after presidents and Indian tribes or the people living on them?
If you're living on a street named after a President or Indian tribe I'd say you have much more to worry about than the street name.
ETA: And also if your street is just a number.

Yeah, he was just regarded as being very black-friendly. And he probably was for the times, all things considered.

Atleast she is approaching it holistically.
Whatever that is supposed to mean?

Would she have any authority to do so if St. George is finally allowed?
Well, she's the president of the parish, so...

It means there will be aromatherapy and free accupuncture at all committee meetings.

That’s just it, your legacy back in the day is not how you are being judged anymore. You are now judged against their standard, and very few can survive that scrutiny.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, I bet the old Kingfish is left alone.
Although with his statue on state property I don't think Broome and her committee have any say.
