If we look at past history, Newsom, unlike prior governors, will basically recite the budget with the help of charts, perhaps going on for an hour and a half. Prior governors made a relatively short overview presentation before turning the podium over to the budget director for more detailed information.
Keep in mind that what will be presented is a proposal. It is up to the legislature to enact a budget and it won't do so until June. Also keep in mind that words such as "deficit," "surplus," and "balance" have elastic use in California budget-speak.
Also expected tomorrow: The state controller will release data on cash receipts for the current year through December.
