The old Gold Rush town of Nome on Alaska's western coast is trying again to address hard drinking that's deeply entrenched there. This time it's in the form of a proposed law that would prohibit intoxication in public rights of way. That would include the city's main street, where street drinkers can be seen stumbling along or passed out near tourist shops. The measure is set to be addressed by the City Council on Monday. City manager Tom Moran says the measure could be amended to add a fine if it passes.
