 New Jersey's Homegrown Plan for the Arts
Often overshadowed by the glamour of neighboring New York City, New Jersey is a cultural magnet with one of the highest rates of arts participation in the country.
New Jersey not only exceeds the national average in the number of people attending arts events, but its residents are also among the leaders in active performing arts participation -- singing, dancing, acting and playing an instrument.
For instance, the vast pinelands of southern New Jersey stand in stark contrast to the densely populated suburbs to the north.

The Plan "corrected" the inequality that the one state, one vote notion inflicted upon the large states (and those, like the Southern states, that hoped to be large soon).

 New Jersey Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Jersey Plan was a proposal for the structure of the United States Government proposed by William Paterson on June 15, 1787.
The plan was created in response to the Virginia Plan's call for two houses of Congress, both elected with proportional representation.
Also, the plan was designed for the equality of states in terms of physical size, so that a smaller state would have equivalent rights to those of a larger state, but citizens of larger states would have less rights than those of smaller states.

 New Jersey Health Plan Liquidated
NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Reuters Health) -- About 165,000 New Jersey residents need to find a new insurance carrier after the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance announced plans on Tuesday to liquidate HIP Health Plan of New Jersey (HIP-NJ) by March 31, 1999.
On Wednesday, HIP Health Plan of New York, the parent of the New Jersey firm, issued a statement that called the department's actions "draconian." HIP said that it had filed a restraining order in Superior Court of New Jersey to prevent the department from liquidating HIP-NJ.
Since the plan was placed in rehabilitation, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance struck an agreement with physician groups to pay the providers 75% of their negotiated rate with HIP and pay them 30% of their back claims.

 The 'New Jersey Plan' of tax increases -- April 1, 2003
The 'New Jersey Plan' of tax increases that public-employee unions and other advocates are promoting as "closing corporate loopholes" is, in fact, "a virtual copy of the disaster that New Jersey inflicted on itself last summer," a new report on New York's state budget debate concludes.
New Jersey's 2002 tax increases "effectively doubled corporate income taxes in New Jersey, under the guise of closing 'loopholes,'" the report said.
All told, the New Jersey Plan would raise state corporate taxes by up to $2 billion, which is more than double the $1.8 billion collected from the corporate income tax now, the report noted.

 William Paterson
He represented Somerset County as the secretary of New Jersey's Provincial Congress, an extralegal legislature established by the Patriots to organize the transition from Royal colony to independent state (1775-76), and at New Jersey's first constitutional convention (1776).
He was co-author of the New Jersey (or Paterson) Plan that asserted the rights of the small states by proposing a national legislature that, ignoring differences in size and population, gave equal voice to all the states.
The Constitution that emerged from the deliberations was essentially a compromise incorporating elements of both of these plans (a Senate giving equal representation to the states and a House based solely on population).
