"[2] In 2012, she admonished the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, Leroy Rogers, after he criticised her publicly on Radio Anguilla.
He claimed that during the passage of the Vehicles and Road Traffic Amendment Bill 2011, that Webster-Bourne should have had no opinion on whether one of the offences proposed should have been included.
She responded with a public letter published in The Anguillian, to which they said that they would place a motion of no-confidence in her within the House of Assembly.
