Minnesota opponents said is arbitrary and discriminatory and has enabled some state executives to override the wishes of local communities in shaping programs. A Republican-backed amendment to continue the veto power lost 155 to 150 on a nonrecord vote and then 227 to 178 on a roll call, On passage of the bill itself the vote was, 245 to 158, with 24 Republicans joining 221 Democrats to make up the majority, 110 Republicans and 48 Democrats voting against.

There were unsuccessful attempts to cut the funds, tighten state control over programs arid clip the authority of the OEO.
