Arnold Schwarzenegger will be in San Luis Obispo next week to tell Central Coast residents why they should support his "Year of Reform" initiatives on the Nov. 8 ballot.The governor will be featured Nov. 3 in a live televised appearance that will air from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on KSBY, the San Luis Obispo-based NBC affiliate. The Tribune and the Santa Maria Times are co-sponsoring the event. Dan Dennison, KSBY news director, said about 200 Central Coast residents will be invited as audience members, and some of them will be able to ask Schwarzenegger questions about the ballot measures. The event will not be open to the public, a condition sought by the governor's office.
