HARTFORD -- Senator Chris Murphy is walking across the state again.
He started his trek Sunday close to the Rhode Island border and for the next five days he'll continue to walk, ening up close to the New York border. This is the second time Murphy is walking across the state.
Murphy will meet with people on streets and dirt roads to listen to them and get feedback. He will be walking 103 miles through 21 towns, and plans to end his walk on Thursday in Danbury with a picnic at noon.
"I'll talk to folks who might not ever call my office but who will talk to me if they see their Senator in a shirt baseball cap and shorts," Murphy said.
"We don't get this chance very often so it's nice for the people. As he walks through the town I hope people ahead of us hear this and get a chance to see him," said Rick Ives, the first selectman of Brooklyn, out on the road.
Murphy is planning the following pop-up town hall meetings during his walk . Timing is approximate.
