House Speaker Greg Hughes is affiliated with companies that own land within five miles of the newly created inland port authority boundaries — a tie that, under current law, would automatically disqualify him from the board he appointed himself to.

Hughes is listed on state business records as the manager of Wilkeshire Homes, LLC, an expired limited liability company that owns a tiny 0.05 acres of land at 564 N.
