Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
Nearly all metro regions have some kind of council of government(COG). COGs began in the 1950s and were encouraged by the national government. In essence, these councils bring locally elected officials together. They devote most of their time and resources to physical planning; rarely do they tackle problems of race, poverty, and financial inequities in metro regions. Councils are set up, moreover, in such a way as to give suburbs a veto over virtually any project that would threaten their autonomy. In a few regions, the councils assume operating responsibilities over such regional activities as garbage collection, transportation, and water supply.
