WI flood warnings persist, as does Walker's self-promotion

Walker's official Twitter account leads right now with several self-serving posts about various grant programs, including:
58 min Over $94 million returned to thousands of hardworking families throughout Wisconsin thanks to our $100 Per-Child Tax Rebate!
Looks like he's back on that state airplane, too. 
3 hrs “Scott Walker announces statewide grants in Oconto Falls” 
And his personal Twitter account showed him far from floodwaters, and any mention of the Foxconn flood:
53 min Spent the morning in Sheboygan touring VPI Corporation to hear how Foxconn is having a direct impact on their workers and business! They’re in a great location too -- a block away from Lake Michigan! 
For the real news, check out the detailed National Weather Service very recent flood warnings
