New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will unveil his proposed budget for the coming year Tuesday, spelling out in detail yet how he wants to pay for an ambitious agenda. (Not seeing the video player below? Watch here.)

In both his inauguration speech and a big policy agenda he laid out in December, Cuomo has alluded to a long wish list now that the State Senate is in Democratic hands for the first time in a decade. Many of the items have little or nothing to do with taxing and spending, but Cuomo nonetheless has pledged to include them in his budget proposal — a practice he came to favor during the Republicans' long reign over the Senate. (The budget, with its March 31 deadline, adds pressure and focus to negotiations between the executive and legislative branches.)

Advocates, lawmakers and others will be looking closely at: 

• How Cuomo will pay for MTA repairs, including any implementation of congestion pricing;
• How much he proposes to spend on education, both in public schools and in the SUNY and CUNY systems;
• How much marijuana officials expect to be bought and sold when (and if) legalization takes effect, and to what programs he wants to apply tax revenues from legal sales.

On the surface, the legislature supports Cuomo's agenda, but many individual lawmakers say they'll stand up to Cuomo if he proposes spending too much — or too little.
