Jackson Stoever
Jackson Stoever is a general assignment reporter for News 9 who often covers how transportation, traffic and major events intersect with safety, economics and community life. He brings a practical focus to stories that sit where roads, vehicles and public spaces meet crime, weather, and large-scale gatherings.
Transportation, traffic and major events
Stoever regularly reports on transportation-heavy events and how turnout and travel patterns are shaped by wider economic forces, including coverage of Laconia Motorcycle Week and its drop in attendance driven by costs and financial pressure on riders. His work in this lane looks at roads, vehicles and crowd movement as part of a broader picture of how people use public space, not just as a lifestyle feature. When he reports from parades and public celebrations, he ties the logistics of getting people and vehicles in and out of downtowns to questions of local planning and safety.
Crime, public safety and roadside investigations
A significant share of Stoever’s coverage follows criminal investigations and public safety incidents that unfold on or near major roads. He reports from highway corridors and local streets where state and local police are investigating suspicious deaths, murder cases and armed robberies, often filing from active scenes such as Dover Point Road, Nashua, Plymouth and other roadside locations. His packages focus on what investigators know, what they are asking the public to do, and how the incident affects people moving through the area, from lane closures to concerns about repeat offenses. He also covers impaired driving and serious crashes, reporting on cases where drivers are over the legal alcohol limit and face significant legal consequences. In these stories he treats vehicles and traffic as the setting for the crime rather than the main subject, but the transportation context is always clear.
Weather, roads and infrastructure
Stoever’s reporting extends into how weather and infrastructure affect travel and daily life across the region. He has covered snow cleanup operations across Vermont and northern New York, riding along with snow removal crews as they work to keep roads passable in winter storms and explaining how their decisions affect commuters and emergency access. He also follows how municipalities and small communities use technology like fixed camera systems to monitor traffic and public areas, including debates over contracts for license-plate-reading systems and security cameras in places like Saranac Lake. In these pieces he pays attention to where cameras are placed, how they track vehicles, and what that means for drivers and residents concerned about privacy and enforcement.
Regional reporting background
Before joining News 9, Stoever reported for an NBC-affiliated television station serving Vermont and northern New York, where his work was carried in CNN’s regional feed on stories ranging from public meetings in South Burlington to animal welfare cases. That experience contributes to his comfort reporting live from streets, town centers and transportation corridors in multiple states, handling stories that combine local government, public safety and the practical realities of moving around the region.

He focuses on new energy vehicles, battery systems, powertrains, electric platforms, high-end domestic brands, and track-ready models, and he explains technical details in plain language for non-specialist readers. His reporting treats new models as hardware and systems stories, with precise figures on range, battery capacity, chassis layout, motor outputs, weight, and acceleration. He also covers the Chinese auto industry’s finances and technology roadmap, including sector profits, vehicle volumes, and solid-state battery timelines. His background in Electrical and Computer Engineering shows in the way he writes about vehicle electronics and battery management.
Al Pefley
Al Pefley is a television news reporter for CBS12 News whose work centers on how laws, law enforcement and local decisions shape everyday life for drivers and other residents. He reports in a general assignment role but returns often to transportation, public safety and pocketbook issues, treating driving as a point where policy, disability and policing intersect. His coverage includes driver-focused laws, fuel and tax policy, crime, policing and internal affairs findings, with a consistent focus on accountability and concrete consequences for people’s wallets, safety and trust in institutions. He explains county gas tax debates, campaign positions on teacher pay, property crime and retail theft in short, clear segments. Pefley works primarily on the scene, using live or recorded field reporting and interview-driven pieces to show what happened, why it matters and what comes next.
Aliza Savira
Aliza Savira focuses on the hidden financial costs of owning modern cars, especially how insurance can undermine expected savings. She writes about automobiles for MSN, looking at new technology and electric vehicles through everyday ownership rather than showroom appeal. Her work highlights the gap between promises of cheaper running costs and the full financial picture of owning a vehicle. In electric vehicle coverage, she treats insurance premiums as a key ownership problem that can erode long-term value. She stays close to practical questions drivers face, such as which recurring costs matter most after purchase. She reports on how insurance structures and premium levels interact with new automotive technology. Her beat is consumer-focused automobile reporting, with a clear, utilitarian lens on ownership experience, recurring expenses, and risk, rather than lifestyle or performance.
