(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement regarding the passing of former WTNH reporter Mark Davis:
“For decades, Mark Davis provided the people of Connecticut with valuable news and information about what was going on in their state, giving them insight into their communities, their government, and their neighbors. He became one of the most trusted and recognized people in journalism, entering the homes of so many Connecticut residents each day as they watched the evening news. He always acted with professionalism integrity, and I have no doubt that he inspired a whole new generation of reporters who are working in the field of journalism today. Mark Davis is a Connecticut icon, and his passing is a loss for our state. On behalf of the State of Connecticut, I send my condolences to Mark’s entire family, including his wife Betsy, as well as his friends and colleagues at WTNH, and I thank him for his service to our state.”
