More about the presenters

**Stan Jones:**

Author of Alaska's Pointless Pipe Dream: https://bit.ly/AKLNGreport

Stan Jones was born in Anchorage and has lived in Alaska most of his life. Besides Anchorage, his cities of residence include Fairbanks and Kotzebue, where his son was born. He has been an award winning reporter and editor for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner and the Anchorage Daily News, and director of Administration and External Affairs at the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council, which was set up after the Exxon Valdez oil spill to promote safer transportation of crude oil. He is the co-author of an oral history of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Title: The Spill--Personal Stories from the Exxon Valdez Disaster. He holds a BS in Engineering from CalTech and a Masters in Business Journalism from the University of Alaska Anchorage. He is now a professional writer-research, and the author of two highly acclaimed mystery series, one set in Arctic Alaska and one in the California desert.

**Larry Persily:**

Larry Persily has split his 49 years in Alaska between journalism and public policy work for state, federal and municipal offices, focusing on taxes, fiscal policy, oil and gas -- and cynicism. During his government life, he served as deputy commissioner at the Department of Revenue, worked in the governor’s office in Washington DC, served as an aide to the state House Finance Committee co-chair, and led a federal agency created to assist with development of an Alaska North Slope natural gas pipeline project. He has followed state budgets from when Alaska was poor, to when it was rich, then poor, then rich again, now poor, and as the state hopes a natural gas project could make it rich again.
