[open-economics] Credit union failures

Sun Dec 9 22:20:55 UTC 2012

Hey Anders,

Since we have quite a lot of columns already, I am wondering whether we
could put a star for the fields which we definitely need for this type of a
visualisation, I guess this would be the date and the main city of
operation?

Do we need the amount that the bank received in state aid / for how much it
was sold in a public auction? That would be the size of the bubble I guess,
but probably we won't be able to complete this information for all entries?
