Valentino Rodriguez was paroled Oct. 4 and was living at 5819 E. Olympic Blvd. in East Los Angeles, according to the Sheriff’s Department. On Monday, he removed the tracking device at an Arco station at Century Boulevard and Main Street in South Los Angeles, sheriff’s officials said.

On the Nov. 2, ballot, registered California voters will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition 25; which is constitutional amendment that aims to make two major changes to the state budget process.

Prop. 25 intends to modify the State Legislature’s requirement to pass the annual state budget and budget-related legislation. Instead of relying on the current two-thirds majority vote (67 percent), the proposition will implement a simple majority vote (51 percent) to pass the budget and similar spending bills. It also proposes permanently withholding all financial compensation and expense reimbursement to Legislature members for every day they do not pass the budget by the June 15 deadline.
