CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago mayor has been accused by Illinois' inspector general of conducting village and personal business while getting paid for state work.

The inspector general contends Riverdale Mayor Deyon Dean abused his position as associate director for the Department of Human Services' Division of Community Health and Prevention. The report says Dean attended village meetings and "spent the equivalent of weeks of time" talking on cellphones while at work.

Attorney general spokeswoman Maura Possley said Thursday the office is reviewing the report.
