Federal investigators are scheduled to argue Monday at a hearing in Washington that a circus training facility in McHenry County should be closed.
But the owner’s wife hinted Friday that a settlement could be in the works.
“We’re not going to court,” said Herta Cuneo, wife of John Cuneo, owner of Hawthorn Corp.
In a brief phone conversation, Herta Cuneo said her husband was working Friday afternoon on a settlement, but she would not discuss any details or say whether it would keep the facility open.
Hawthorn’s lawyers could not be reached for comment, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture declined to comment.
