He Saw No Safe Path Back to Work

The coronavirus has pushed WTNH (New Haven) Chief Political Reporter Mark Davis into retirement.

Davis spent more than 37 years at the Nexstar station but has decided to retire and it appears that COVID was the reason.

Davis took a leave of absence in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While he and his wife, Betsy, are in good health, Davis said he sees “no safe path back to work” due to his age and has now decided to retire.

He posted this back in March and has not been seen at the station since:

It is not the way he wanted to go out, but good for him for looking out for himself and his family first.

“I would like to thank my co-workers past and present, and especially Photographer Joe Sferrazza for helping me look good (in many ways) over the past 36 years. Most of all I would like to thank the viewers for their continued support over the decades.”
