RedPrairie
You may remember Mark Green from the first Gubernatorial Debate citing John Jazwiec of a software company in Waukesha called RedPrairie moaning about high taxes in the state and the business climate here being unfavorable. (Never mind that he appears from time to time in the papers pushing Republican agenda items and has pretty consistent Republican contribution record...)

To the point, from The Small Business Times:
RedPrairie Reports Record Quarter

RedPrairie Corp. announced record third-quarter bookings revenue of $14.7 million, up 49 percent from its previous quarterly record of $9.9 million and up 100 percent over the same period a year ago.

The Waukesha logistics solutions company's increased bookings were broad across its product lines and diverse in geography, including 59 contracts, four of which were in the seven-figure range.

John Jazwiec, RedPrairie's chief executive officer, said, "RedPrairie's record results and momentum demonstrate the strength of our innovative E2e strategy. Companies are investing in and realizing substantial value from our unique ability to synchronize inventory, workforce and transportation processes from the point of sale back through distribution and manufacturing."

Despite the record revenues, Jazwiec has been threatening in recent weeks to move his company out of Wisconsin, as he has criticized the state's corporate culture.

A record quarter? Now I realize that business crosses state and international borders, but if our business climate is so awful, shouldn't the company be going bust?

The Xoff Files has a post chronicling the noise coming from Jazwiec.
