WINCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) — Republican Gov. Bill Haslam is defending the decision to cut back home care for people with developmental disabilities despite a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the move to group homes.

Haslam said after a ribbon-cutting event in at Tims Ford State Park on Thursday that the group homes save money while still delivering personalized services.

"We can still maintain a high quality of care for each one of these individuals," Haslam said.

"I understand the families, and the pain that people feel," he said. "But again, I think we feel like we can provide a high quality of care in this situation."
