The Missouri Department of Revenue said temporary license tags for dealer car sales will end on August 28, requiring buyers to pay tax at purchase instead of having a 30-day period; the sales tax change will take effect when the new FUSION system is completed—expected in late 2026 or early 2027—to help stop millions in losses reported from expired tags.

The Chiefs held training camp as they worked on improving for a better 2025 season—quarterback Patrick Mahomes is focused on refining his game while the team enjoyed Kansas City barbecue and tight end Robert Tonyan emerged as a contender for the final roster spot.
