Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
Today, a governor is expected to be, among other things, the state's chief policy maker, shaper of the state budget, savvy political party leader, chief recruiter of the best available advisers and administrators, and inspiring renewer of confidence in state programs. The governor must also champion the state's interests against the encroachments of federal or local governments and be the state's chief booster to attract business and tourism. In order to be effective, governors are expected to take trips abroad to encourage foreign investment in their states and promote their local products. Governors also work with their legislatures to raise revenues for such programs as welfare, education, and economic development. They act as crucial links among the states and between local and the national governments.
